上 (JLPT N2) | Bunpro

Acerca de 上

Attaching to nouns, 上(じょう) is a suffix that highlights when something is being presented 'from the standpoint of (A)'. The 'standpoint' that 上(じょう) will indicate is usually a specific field or area of concern. The (B) part of the sentence will then go on to describe what exactly is being considered from that standpoint.

上(じょう) is fairly formal, and can be interpreted similarly to に関(かん)して 'in connection to', in that it is just expressing that (B) is being discussed in relation to (A).

As 上(じょう) will be used with matters of concern, it is very frequently seen with words that express broad fields, such as work '仕事(しごと)', 'education' 教育(きょういく), 'history' 歴史(れきし), 'health' 健康(けんこう), 'experience' 経験(けいけん), 'the law' 法律(ほうりつ), and other similar things.

Caution

Despite expressing standpoints, 上(じょう) cannot be used to indicate an individual person's point of view. Because of this, it cannot be used as a suffix for names of people or organizations that something is being considered from.
